Last week I had the pleasure to host Mark Rongers and his friend Greg Bires for a hunt. I had a TV show filming the hunt, so they gave me the option to have anyone I chose to hunt with on camera. Since Mark has planed for years to hunt eiders with me, I thought this would be the perfect time....
Getting the birds to decoy in, with two camera boats hovering just 30 yards away, and on the approach line for the birds, was something not easily done! But with luck, the birds were ready to land on us those two days!
Since we lost a day of filming to a Nor' Easter, (not good for the cameras ) I decided to treat the gang to a Blue Bill hunt. Man oh Man, they were on us for sure. Hundreds decoying to the gun! It was really nice to see
Here's a quick slide show of great photos taken by Greg (and fixed to protect the innocent, :) )... hope you like.... Click on the link!!
